I wrote a song about chromatic embellishments

Part of a series of songs that explain music theory concepts using those same concepts

There are two kinds of embellishing tones, the ones from inside the key and the ones from outside. The outside ones are called chromatic embellishments, and that name is appropriate; you get the most color from careful application of the "wrong" notes.

I give examples of chromatic embellishments here. But I didn't systematically work through all the possibilities. So I wrote a tune that uses all the possible chromatic neighbor and passing tones in C major. Enjoy:
